Once inside on this Colosseum Tour our guide will show you the around this Ancient amphitheatre, with stories of the gladiators and emperors, along with the many battles that have taken place over the years.

This Colosseum tour is great for both adults and children as our excellent tour guide will bring to life the mystery and drama aswell details of the many water battles which took place inside the great amphitheatre.

In the sixth century the Colosseum was used as a burial ground, and later as a dwelling. During the Jubilee of 1675 in memory of the many Christian martyrs the Colosseum assumed the character of a sacred place. In 1744 Pope Benedict XIV consecrated him to the passion of Christ, and he built the 15 Stations of the Cross. This best Colosseum tour will then move on towards the Arch of Constantine, which was built on the ancient Via Triumphalis, a road used by the triumphant marches direct to the Capitol to celebrate the battle at the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD, when Emperor Constantine defeated his rival Maxentius,

We can then continue our Colosseum tour through the streets and trails of a tour of the Roman Forum located between the seven hills of Rome. Over the centuries there were built monuments, buildings for political activities, religious and commercial activities, following civil basilicas, where activities took place proceedings. The various dynasties of emperors added prestigious monuments: the Temple of Vespasian and Titus and that of Antoninus Pius and Faustina, the Arch of Septimius Severus, to celebrate the victories of the emperor over the Parthians. The Emperor Maxentius to the early fourth century AD built the temple dedicated to the memory of his son Romulus. The last monument built in the Forum's Column was erected in 608 AD in honour of the Byzantine Emperor Phocas.

For your trip to Rome with the best guides and tours we will guarantee a wonderful experience on this Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour.

Colosseum and Ancient Rome - Skip the line TourThank you for another fantastic and informative tour. Yet again we found our tour guide to not only be extremely knowledgeable but passionate about the subject, setting the scene so that you could really imagine what places would have been like. She did this very expertly at the Colosseum preparing us for what would have been the roar of the crowds entering as a gladiator. Despite one family in our group trying to rush things along our guide showed the deepest respect for each individual\\\'s needs and enjoyment and again this tour far exceeded our expectations.

Colosseum and Ancient Rome - Skip the line TourMy wife and I did 2 tours with Around Rome Tours. We really enjoyed both of them. The first was the Vatican and St. Peters. It was an intimate tour and Francesca was extremely knowlegable and polite. Our second tour was for the Colosseum and Ancient Rome with Irena, who was very personal and did an excellent job. We really enjoyed both tours due to the exellent knowledge of the tour guides and the small size of the tour group which meant more individual time to ask the guide questions. We will deffinaly go with Around Rome Tours. Lenny2013-09-13

Colosseum and Ancient Rome - Skip the line TourOur guide was a blast! Actually this tour was one of our highlights in Rome. Dotti gave us a 3 h history wrap-up from 3000 years back in time to the present. But it was nothing like a boring history class - her talk was designed like a exciting novel to read. She told us about the humanized characters of the emperors, the reputation they had among their people and unraveled the mistery of legends, gods and the christian church. As we joined the tour at the beginning of our trip we encountered so much of these ancient figures and stories which Dotti had told us about that we were fully informed and knew the background of so many great sculptures which made them even more impressive. Thanks so much, Dotti! We learned more in these 3 h than in all the years of history classes in school.Lin Grimm2013-09-11

Colosseum and Ancient Rome - Skip the line TourThe tour started with a certain delay as the guide had an accident and couldn\\\'t show up. The guys from the agency that were welcoming the clients at the meeting point did everything to find another guide and in the meantime offered us some refreshment in a bar. At the end this gathering in a bar helped us getting to know the group and it was fun. The guide (i think the name is Irene) arrived and she was definitely worth waiting! The tour was professional, insightful, interesting and lightened with a proper dosage of good sense of humor. She made up for the time lost in the beginning, giving us enough time for making photos and even assisting. We would recommend this tour to anybody.
